Do you love cookies? In our household, we all look forward to when I make homemade, still warm cookies. With winter being here, however, I wanted to try something a little different. I have always loved ginger snaps and have been struggling to find a recipe that is not only tasty, but fairly easy to make . Lately, I found a ginger snap recipe that isn’t just a tasty base, but also dipped in white chocolate! I have been playing with this recipe and found that is great for entertaining or as gifts! We think your family will love this cookie recipe just as much as ours!
If you don’t like white chocolate (my husband detests it) I found it works great with dark chocoalte, milk chocolate, and even semi sweet chocolate! For more fun, consider melting different types of chocolates and let the kids dip each cookie themselves!
Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ cup white sugar
- 12 oz. bag white chocolate chips
- With a stand or hand mixer, mix together the melted butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and egg.
- Add molasses to the mixture. Make sure the mixture is mixed well.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Stir until well mix.
- Cover, and chill dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll dough into walnut size balls, and roll them in the remaining white sugar.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until tops are cracked. Cool on wire racks.
- Melt white chocolate. Dip half of each ginger snap cookie into white chocolate and lay flat on parchment paper to allow chocolate to harden.

Another cookie recipe I will be adding to my list. Thank you for sharing!
We love Ginger snaps. My father is on a restricted diet, and we left the salt out of the recipe, and they were still delicious. We dipped in milk chocolate, and I recommend that too. Thank you for the recipe. 5 stars.
Yum, these look so delicious. Would be great for a party
Oh these look so yummy. With the added dip of white chocolate, it surely dresses them up suitable for gift giving. Thanks for sharing.
This recipe looks fabulous! This is my husband’s favorite cookie. I think he would love it even more dipped in white chocolate.
Yum – two of my favorite ingredients are ginger and white chocolate! Somehow I never thought of putting them together!
I already love ginger snaps so this just adds to that. Yummy! Pinned!
Oh I absolutely love dipping ginger anything in white chocolate. This recipe looks awesome.
They look really good. I’ve never tried ginger cookies before. I’ve never even tried a gingerbread house.

oh my gosh! I could die happy with these cookies!
These white chocolate gingersnap cookies look so delicious! My granddaughters would love to help make these.
Oh my, these sound divine! I love my ginger snaps and of course who doesn’t like chocolate. Great combo! Thank you!
Now this is just what I need, another recipe for sweets. 🙂
These cookies look delicous and seems very easy to make. I might have to add this one to my recipe collection.
I am going to have to make these. I have a craving now.
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will have to try them around Christmas!

THESE DO LOOK SO GOOD GOING TO HAVE TO TRY THEM.
Oh my gosh, can you please stop posting so many delicious looking recipes!! just kidding..keep them coming! I’m a huge fan of gingersnaps & white chocolate so these should be incredible! Thanks!
I should bake these cookies. I think my kids would be impressed with their dad!
These look absolutely DELICIOUS!! Will be something my girls and I make for our holiday sweets!! Thank you for the idea!
These look fantastic! Ginger snaps are by far my favorite type of cookie, so I’m always looking for the perfect recipe. I think I’ll add some chopped crystallized ginger to the mix — it really kicks any ginger snap recipe up a notch!
thank you!! my family would definitely love this! it looks so yummy!
I love ginger snaps! Dipping in white chocolate is such a fun twist. I might just try these with my kiddo this week!
What lovely cookies! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks so very much for the Delicious recipe for White Chocolate Dipped Ginger Snap Cookies! I, personally, love ginger snap cookies, however, I made them one year along with other cookies which I generally make to give out to my neighbors. I remember them telling me that that was the least liked cookie I’ve ever made! I though they were good, however, I guess they don’t like ginger snaps. This recipe is terrific! I love dunking them in the white chocolate! If I make them again, I will be definitely following your lead as to dipping them! Thanks so very much! Michele 🙂
Those cookies look delicious! I like how you suggested using different chocolates to dip multiple cookies; changing up the flavor!
I love Ginger Snaps, especially, with a cold glass of milk. I saw these on Pinterest and they had piped a couple of little green leaves and some read berries. They looked so festive for the holidays.
These look so yummy!!! Must make!! Thanks 🙂
These sound good and these are my husbands favorite. May have to make these for him.
these look amazing!
We haven’t had ginger snaps in a few years since my mom passed away….she always made them for my husband during the holidays. Thanks for the recipe, it’s my turn to start carrying on the tradition with a new twist(dipping in chocolate)
Happy Holidays to you and yours,
Sharon
I like ginger snaps but not white chocolate. I will dip the ginger snaps in dark chocolate instead of white chocolate, it will be dark chocolate dipped ginger snaps. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I love Chocolate!! I’ve never tried real Ginger Snaps. These look very tasty
(WHITE CHOCOLATE DIPPED GINGER SNAP COOKIES) I have not made these in ages, looks like I will be making them real soon for my family again-
These look yummy. Do you have a recipe for dark chocolate or semi-sweet? I’m not to big on white chocolate, but I love gingersnaps, so I’ll make these without chocolate if it came down to it. Either way looks like a rather easy recipe to follow, and me, my great niece and her friend (both 3 years old) are sure to have fun making these at our little New Years Eve party I’m planning for them!
Thanks for sharing
These look so good! I can’t wait to make them!
I love Gingersnaps and with the chocolate dipped on them, make them even better! Thanks for sharing!
I love gingersnap cookies and the white chocolate takes them over the top! Yummy!!!
Ginger snaps are some of my favorite cookies. I have never had them dipped in white chocolate but sure does sound good.
I’m not fond of ginger. I do like the idea if dipping a cookie in white chocolate. That or butterscotch or peanut butter. Any flavor you like.
